2 Cups peeled, chopped and seeded Roma tomatoes
1/2 Cup extra-virgin olive oil
2-3 Teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 Cup firmly packed chopped fresh basil leaves (dried just doesn't hack it)
1 Pound capellini (angel hair) or similar pasta
3 Cups broccoli florets
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

It should be al dente (shoten time considerably if using fresh pasta. Add broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 or 4 minutes or until broccoli is tender.


To serve: Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add sauce and toss pasta and broccoli until it is well coated. Serve with parmesan cheese. Serves 4 to 6. Suggestion: Add shrimp or scallops to the cooking pasta. Without fish, this is a winner for a first course. With fish, it's a great dinner.
